Easy Arlo Wireless Doorbell Installation Video (2022) | Doorbell Unboxing and Installing Tutorial!

[@rickychar2669]

Note: this device "ONLY" works on 2.4ghz wifi. If your router has dual band 2.4 and 5 ghz, you have to turn off the 5ghz band for device to connect to wifi, which is a stupid feature.

[@carolynlofton6062]

How do you turn off the 5 ghz on the router? No very tech savvy in my old age

[@homealtitudetrainingoxyhoo3484]

thank you for this info

[@BoscoFoong]

By connected to 2.4ghz on smartphone before scanning the qr code should be good enough isn't it? Why need to turn off 5ghz?

[@mr.mclibtard5015]

Actually it's not a stupid feature, all cameras requires this

[@rvanbeau2009]

With the wired version of this doorbell you can use the existing mechanical chime, but it can be very problematic. Much more reliable even with the wired one to use the arlo dedicated chime. If you insist on using the mechanical chime make sure you have a 16 volt or higher transformer, use the included power adapter (little white device with 2 wires) and set in your app that you are using a mechanical chime. The wired version actually has an internal battery that gets charged from the transformer.

plastic nylons anchors you need only for concrete walls you don’t need to put them in phony wood walls!

[@billwelch9431]

Is there a wireless chime you can put in the house so you can hear the actual doorbell ringing in the home when someone pushes your wireless Arlo doorbell? We have the wireless Arlo doorbell camera, but no way to hear it in the home unless you have your phone on you and if our kids are home, they aren't on the arlo alerts so they can't hear anything in the house. Would love a link where I could purchase an actual interior audible bell that wirelessly connects to the button outside. Thanks!

[@altingjoka5820]

so you pre-drill holes on a wood surface? can't just screw directly into the wood?

[@JoshingX]

FYI, you need to pay $3/month for the Arlo secure plan if you want to view recordings, set activity zones, interactive notifications and more. Without the subscription, you will only be able to view live streams and get motion notifications. You can not view recordings without a purchase plan.

[@seanlovesrealestate]

Yes, good point! It comes with a 90 day free trial for the Arlo secure program. It's actually pretty affordable compared to a competing service. I pay 9.99/mo because I have multiple Arlo cameras in my house

[@JoshingX]

@@seanlovesrealestate Have you checked out Eufy doorbell (it’s both battery power and can be wire)? It’s on sale for $130 currently and offers all of Arlo’s paid functions plus more without a subscription. It comes with the doorbell (2k video) and a home base (wireless and wired) for local storage.

[@seanlovesrealestate]

@@JoshingX ​ I've only used Arlo and Nest products because I wanted everything on one ecosystem (hard to keep track of too many apps). I'll check out Eufy on my next property!

[@kellylee514]

I was in disbelief that they force a subscription on this one to get the video recordings. I contacted them and they told me you do NOT get the 7 days free recordings with this a I do with my cameras. And I have an elevated porch with a palm tree in front of it so when the wind blows I'm afraid it will set it off constantly. Not sure if I should try it. And when hard wiring one how do you determine of your existing inside chime is the correct voltage? thanks

[@kellylee514]

@@seanlovesrealestate you don't have to add those cameras to the program do you? that was a choice?

What do you think of the Arlo Wireless Doorbell? Would you install on of these in your properties?

Question! I am trying to confirm if this works with apple homekit! I heard that it is supported, but can not find a straight forward answer to this?

[@bdogrom]

It seems to me that Arlo workers wrote these comments. This video doorbell SUCKS. I threw to the garbage the item and wasted over $100.00

[@seanlovesrealestate]

@@bdogrom what's wrong with it? I've been using it for 5 months now and it works great. The only gripe I have is that the camera has about a 5 second delay from the live view

[@garethbull5303]

Wife is having a nightmare setting it up. Going through our router settings, turning off the 5 ghz and downgrading to 2.4 ghz. So now the unit can connect. Then there's the firmware update of the device which is to take up to 5 minutes. It's been 20 minutes and the phone still says Arlo device is still updating, but it states that the Arlo unit will alternate between blue and amber if the unit is updating and it isn't doing that. It's been absolutely infuriating seeing how difficult it is to setup. Yes, it is powered. Yes it is connected. So removing the device and resetting. (So I'm just reporting this so I'm not being completely useless while this is all happening). Was a gift from the parents who have their own.

[@gregclare]

Whoa! I was cringing when you started drilling 1/4” holes into your wooden frame! Those are for securing screws to concrete walls.

[@tarmac245]

Excellent video.

[@seanlovesrealestate]

Glad you liked it!

[@keiths7450]

do you need to pay to see all the past motion detection and visitors?

[@surfaruba69]

When Arlo gets it right it’s very right. When they get it wrong it is very wrong. Installing the chime 2 has been an unsuccessful nightmare.

[@chrsil]

How long is the delay for the camera to detect and record?

[@anacastro8912]

Do you know if to charge you always need to take it down?

[@nonchalant2148]

So I have been researching different wireless doorbell cameras and I really like the Arlo but I wanted to know if they have a community like the Ring cams do? I have not been able to find anything information about that…if you have any links or information about that I would greatly appreciate it!

[@jesska808]

This is so helpful! Thank you so much. I have wood too so I love how you show how to fix your 'mistake'. For the height of the doorbell was the top of it at 4 feet or the bottom of it? Thanks so much!!!

[@seanlovesrealestate]

Hi Jessica, I'm glad you liked it! I think it was 4 ft from the bottom of the doorbell, but I recommend testing different heights that work for you before drilling your holes.

[@Cryptid71]

Well, actually, the problem is anchors typically are not used on the wood. They are used on concrete or brick.

[@Cogan1]

Yeah, I cringed when I saw wall plugs being put into wood

[@osoppanda1965]

[@Carloszachari83]

Does it work 3+ cell phones to view the camera?

[@Deb8184]

Can you drill into aluminum siding w/o anchors? Can I just use the two screws?

[@sw4370]

Easiest way to do that is If the screws that came with it are not long enough get some 2" screws drill through the siding and the screws will actually go into the sheeting/wood behind the siding that way the screws will be in something solid instead of just the aluminum siding

I dont get why you used the optional masonry anchors in the timber? You just use the screws in this instance. Those anchors are only for bricks, concrete etc.

Hi, feeling very frustrated with this products. There were no instructions for installation just to download the app. There were 4 arlo apps! Picked one and after clicking a few times sound installation instructions. They are not easy to find. Spent two hours trying to have the camera catch the QR code. Didn’t work .Went through several clicks in their installation process and finally found a phone number. Someone answered and it took over a half hour to finally have the camera catch the QR code. There were a lot of steps that we had to follow and when we got to the point of viewing the QR code with the camera again it did not work. Had to take a picture of the QR code and enlarge it and finally that made prompted the chime indicating that there was a connection. Then came the wall installation the screws they sent are too small. There is no way to secure the plate to the wall. Unlike this video. now going to Home Depot to find double-sided, tape So buyer beware this is really not a good product. Glad it worked for you, but I can’t say I recommended it was a horrible experience.

[@SherryXShi]

someone can easily just take it, right?

Could not connect with internet called cox and did hardwire as both 5.0 and 2.4 are available and still no connection take back to Best Buy !Tried for hours no customer support

[@MrSeshy]

Garbage product! 😡 First off, The Arlo doorbell cameras have no CVR option (Continuous video recording) - Why, All the other doorbells out there offer this great option in 2024... but Arlo don't lol? Secondly, trying to add or share cameras with family is a complete joke and includes several hoops to jump through... And, even if you successfully jump through all those hoops - still won't work. Third, the quality is subpar and for advertised "2K' is terrible and inexcusable for a camera in 2024. My Arlo cams I have from 5 years ago have better field of view and look 10x's better. Finally, Do yourselves a favor and shop around for better doorbell cams that have none of the above noted issues and offer way better services.
